[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m glad this happened. A snitch tried to get someone’s job because the woman told her to worry about herself, which she should. This author identifies as a POC when it benefits her but then attacks a black woman by dragging in her boss on Twitter. She got the smoke she wanted m! [/quote]

So you think identifying as a POC means never criticizing anyone darker than snow?

If black solidarity existed, there would be no black on black crime so let's stop telling this particular fairy tale.[/quote]

What’s a “POC”?  Is it pronounce “pock”?  Plural pronounced “pox”![/quote]

Dude- we’re on page 20 something and you need someone  to break down “person of color” for you,[/quote]

You mean “colored person”?!  Didn’t that term fall out of usage years ago?[/quote]

This is what I don’t get. Colored person not ok, person of color perfectly fine. [/quote]

It’s for the same reason gypsy isn’t okay but Romani is. One is a dimunitive descriptor formed by outsiders. The other isn’t. [/quote]

But it’s a very slight variation of the same word. That’s what I don’t get. Color vs colored. You’d at least think they’d take color out of it. Gypsy and Romani are to completely different words.

Otherwise, I see your point. [/quote]
